RE: Over/under choices
I own a 20ga Ruger Red Label, purchased brand-new in 1990. I wouldn't recommend a Red Label to anybody. Over two seasons of shooting skeet (1500 - 2000 rounds or target loads) the receiver loosened up to the point that I can physically move the barrels side-to-side in the action. It's been back to Ruger twice to fix it, and each time they sent it back telling me it was just fine. Whatever. It's loose and sloppy like no other O/U I've ever handled.
I just don't make it a habit to grumble about stuff, especially on-line, but every time I think about that shotgun and how Ruger has failed to do anything about it, it upsets me all over again. It's been sitting in the gun safe now, unfired, for over a decade.
